A large open-sided pavilion with a corrugated roof strung with orange and red pennant flags. Many people sit cross-legged on mats across a sandy floor, most dressed in white, while several wear orange robes. Several seated people write on paper or notepads, and a standing person in an orange robe and another in an orange sari walk among them. Painted decorative pillars in red, orange and blue stand along the sides, and trees and a brick wall are visible beyond. The scene resembles a written examination with students working silently, though the page does not name the event as a test. No single person is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance.
